Product: N/A
Hazard: The Class III battery supplied with the conversion featured a poor internal build quality. Testing identified poor quality connections, with wires soldered directly to the PCBs/components with no form of secondary fixing. The battery is likely to endure vibration and shock in its normal environment and could present the hazards of fire/explosion under certain fault conditions. The fuse in the battery housing was also not connected and therefore could not prevent damage to components under fault conditions.
Corrective Action: The affected conversion kits have been recalled from end users by Happy Bike Malvern. Customers should immediately stop using the bicycle with the E-bike conversion fitted, not charge the battery, and contact Happy Bike on mike@happybike.co.uk, to arrange for a safety check to be conducted, and for any necessary corrective action to be carried out.
